As a mom and a crochet artist, some of the most meaningful things I’ve ever made weren’t for sale — they were for the people I love.
Recently, my daughter — who now lives in another city — was looking to add a soft, floral touch to her room. She mentioned she wanted a curtain tie back that felt personal and elegant. Immediately, an idea bloomed in my mind: What if I crocheted a tulip-themed tie back, just for her? 🌷♥️
But I didn’t stop there. I made sure she was part of the journey. I kept sending her yarn samples, video calling her with each little element — “Do you like this petal?” “Should I use this shade of green for the stem?” With every call, her excitement grew. It wasn’t just me making something for her anymore. It became a shared experience — a long-distance collaboration filled with giggles, colour debates, and warmth. 💕🥺
This wasn’t a simple one-piece project — it was a proper handcrafted assembly. Each tie back includes:
- Four crochet tulips, each carefully shaped and filled with soft fiber to give them their plump, lifelike form.
- A long crocheted strand in leafy green, strong and flexible like a soft wire, meant to wrap gently around her curtain and hold it in place without tugging on the fabric.
Each component was created one by one — not rushed, but savored. I loved how the whole thing came together like a bouquet, not just of flowers, but of emotions. It felt like I was sending her a warm hug wrapped in yarn. A way of telling her, Even if we’re not in the same city, I’m right here — wrapped around your world in the small details.
Why This Crochet Tie Back Is So Special
In Indian culture, personalised gifts carry a depth of emotion that store-bought items rarely match. They speak louder than words — showing care, thoughtfulness, and the time someone has poured into making something truly unique.
This crochet tulip tie back may be small, but it holds a universe of love, memory, and presence. For me, creating it was a way to stay emotionally connected with my daughter. And through my small crochet business, I’ve come to realise that others seek the same kind of connection — to give something that feels personal, rooted in tradition, and made with intention.
When you gift something handmade and tailored to someone’s taste, you're telling them: You matter. I thought of you. I made this just for you. ✨
What This Experience Taught Me
This project reminded me why I adore creating custom handmade crochet gifts:
- They’re not just objects — they’re conversations, shared smiles, late-night yarn hunts.
- They carry not only the maker’s effort but also the recipient’s personality.
- They bridge distances — emotional and physical.
Even a small item like this tulip tie back became a way for me to be present in my daughter’s everyday life — quietly, beautifully, and lovingly.
Whether you’re looking to add meaning to your home or surprise a loved one, a handmade crochet tie back like this can be a perfect choice. It’s ideal for:
- Room makeovers
- Gifts for festivals like Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, or birthdays.
- Anyone who loves nature-inspired, custom crochet decor
- Anyone who's a lover of anything handmade, which is affordable
